J. Crew - September (II)

As promised, here are the rest of the photos from my JC trip. First is the now sold out online Schoolboy Blazer In Houndstooth. This is a size 6 and it's too large on me, but there was no 4, and the 0 and 2 were too small for me. There were other sizes also available. The wool is very soft and not itchy at all. The inside pocket detail shows some very nice stitching.

Underneath I had the Button Shoulder Sweatshirt Tee in size XS and heather pacific colour. I didn't care much for it. I liked the button detail, but the sleeves were too long, and so was the body. The skirt is the one I blogged about in my precious post. Can I say again that I love this skirt?

In a brighter red, here's the Cashmere Cable Sweatersize S and vibrant flame colour. I loved this sweater and didn't want to take it off, but at the stiff price tag, would only consider it on a major sale.

Next I tried the Herringbone Wool Shirtdress in size 2. The dress is lined but it made no difference to me. It was so itchy, I couldn't get out of it fast enough, and I'm not even that sensitive to wool. See it also on dinster here. On top of it all, it was way too short for me. (I am 5'6" with no heels).

I love the rich colours of the sweaters! And I'm loving the leopard print trend this fall. Got JC's skinny patent belt last fall, have added a b&w print scarf from Granville St. Now eyeballing a pair of shoes. The wedges are soooo pretty.

I love the colours of the jumpers too, I am only now realising that my pale skin really suits shades like that. I really wanted that Ruthie dress but it just looks a bit blah when I see it on and I love the navy tweed pencil skirt, really elegant. Oh and I want the shoes too!

I love the bright colours of the sweaters. The merino wool pencil skirt looks great on you. I'm all about shades of camel right now. I'm impatiently awaiting the arrival of my No. 2 skirt in heather acorn - can't wait to wear it this fall. Just looking at that herringbone dress and reading your description makes my skin start to feel itchy!!
